SkyDekker 1,465 #626 September 17, 2014 normissI still say we can't say that in re: police shootings. When a cop shoots and kills, how much faith do you expect citizens to have in the system when it's investigated by his buddies in the same cop shop? ALL cop involved shootings should be investigated fully outside the blue line from that station up the chain. Same reason why when I perform forensic network investigations, those are performed entirely outside the scope of my organization that I work directly under. I can't have a boss telling me how to perform or not perform those. It's a conflict of interest risk that cannot be taken due to legalities. A full legal course MUST be followed and not interfered with in any way. With internet crime, we understood this almost 20 years ago. HR nor any boss over me can NOT interfere with the process so as to not contaminate evidence. I think cop shops are in dire need of addressing this. I think cop shops are terrified of adressing this.

In baton rouge if there is a shooting by the sheriff, the city police or state police will investigate for them. They also conduct an inside investigation obviously, but the next department up does the primary. That's also how I always see it done in every shooting that involved a death by officer. In fact I have never heard of a shooting where the department that shot someone and killed them was the only ones doing an investigation. Once again your taking one or two shootings and applying it to all the 600,000 active duty officers, when that's not the case. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

And what we have been saying is that society doesn't trust one cop shop to investigate another cop shop. The Blue Line is perceived to be too strong to allow for a fair investigation.

Anvilbrother 0 #630 September 17, 2014 Not sure why you guys keep using the derogatory term cop shop, but whatever. I will remind you, society, the media, and the people here are projecting the bad of a few onto the over half a million cops that do the job properly every day. That like saying all skydivers are rapists because a couple dozen tandem masters were found guilty of touching passengers inappropriately. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

Andy9o8 2 #631 September 17, 2014 AnvilbrotherNot sure why you guys keep using the derogatory term cop shop Google it yourself. It's a colloquial term for police station; and it's not exclusive to North American usage English. It's also a common term for stores where LEOs go to purchase police-related gear. For example, many FOP offices also have cop shops located under the same roof... that are called "the cop shop" (not unlike the gear stores that are located on many DZs). My own search failed to turn up any presumption that the term is considered derogatory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 886 #632 September 17, 2014 Never meant as an offense, it's just a common name for the police station from my experience. To me, it doesn't matter how much nor how little an innocent person dies at the hands of a cop. The way it is currently excused, covered up, authorized, dismissed, and justified needs to change. Or give us the same level of consideration. Civilians get arrested when they kill someone, details are sorted out later. Why do you get the special treatment? Maybe I'm wasting my breath and you're 100% correct. You may kill innocents at will. I am wasting my time trying make that point. uncle. I'll stop resisting. Here. Thankfully, when I talk to our CoP in town, he's a lot more Friendly Officer than the Us vs. Them Bully cop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That like saying all skydivers are rapists because a couple dozen tandem masters were found guilty of touching passengers inappropriately. No, it is the same as having an issue with fellow tandem masters investigating the accusations of rape by other tandem masters and routinely and quickly stating there was no issue with inappropriate touching. There are good cops and there are bad cops. Good cops don't like busting bad cops, cause it throws a bad light on cops. Hence, things get brushed under the carpet. In rare cases these transgressions include killing another human being. Sometimes it is the lessor offense of "beating the shit" out of some one. It is this perception, real or not, of this constant brushing under the carpet, that gets people irritated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once again your taking one or two shootings and applying it to all the 600,000 active duty officers, when that's not the case. I think the problem is in cases (and there are admittedly not a ton of these but they are there) where it turns out the person was unarmed and the shooting was ruled as justified anyway, and it was determined that the officer responded according to established procedure. Maybe the person "turned around too suddenly" or "had a dark object in his hand." It's a bit like when a Vigil would go off inside a plane, or in someone's trunk, or just randomly while sitting on the packing mat, and AAD would, upon review, conclude and report back that the unit performed exactly as designed. I understand there's tension because there's a person's career on the line and you don't want to dump a process failure on them, but when an unarmed person winds up dead at the hands of police (or more generally any situation where police presence strictly made things worse) you can't say "there's nothing we would do differently on a regular basis" and expect the public to find that palatable.

Anvilbrother 0 #638 September 18, 2014 We are talking humans, not robots. Making split second life decisions on a daily basis. Out of 314 million people in the us a couple dozen get the wrong end of the stick. I'm not mad, that's life. How many other professions kill people? Doctors, bus drivers, pilots, building designers, people who make legal drugs. Hell I'm positive that pharmacists accidentally giving out the wrong drugs kill more people than cops do.

normiss 886 #639 September 18, 2014 I never claimed you did. You do have a comprehension problem throughout this discussion though. Those are things I want yet you call them hate. I don't hate cops. I just don't trust you guys. Like you don't trust us. Have fun with your debate here. The nation as a whole is starting to this problem for what it is, so things will change in some ways. Might help to back off the anger a tad there. You don't need your taser in here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanG 1 #640 September 18, 2014 Cops do more wrong than just killing people. Beating people, denying them their rights, abusing their authority, lying on the witness stand, running criminal enterprises, and treating people differently because of race, gender, national origin, or disability are also wrong. Pharmacists don't regularly do those things. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
champu 1 #641 September 18, 2014 AnvilbrotherWe are talking humans, not robots. Making split second life decisions on a daily basis. That's exactly my point. A split second is a crap amount of time to have to make a life and death decision, and I understand sometimes it has to be done. However, after an event where a LEO makes the wrong split second decision, and an unarmed person is shot, it's worth reviewing how that split second decision developed.

mirage62 0 #643 September 18, 2014 Anybody here follow that the police office testified before the grand jury? One talking head (that happen to be a black female) basically said the ONLY reason he would do that is because he has a sympathetic grand jury. The other talking head said that he might have done it because he and his lawyer felt that they had a strong case to present. Everything he said can be - and you can bet will be used against him in court. 4 hrs. I'd hate to be this cop. I never, ever, never would have spoken to grand jury. This issue is being tried in the count of public opinion AND most of the "people" have made up their mind that a cop should not shot and unarmed teenager for any reason. Remember the TM case? It was basically "This MUST go to court" it went and the same group that insisted that it go is still bitching about the outcome. 1. All cops should have video on their body. ALL. 2. Perhaps the laws sb changed. Under no circumstance can you fire on someone unless you are fired on, no matter how bad of a beating they have given anyone, no matter how bad of a beating they have given the cop. If you won't take an ass whipping (and the chance to be beaten to death while you get it) you don't need to be a cop.Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mirage62 0 #647 September 19, 2014 Sorry - I thought it wb obvious I was joking. I would like to understand more about how the English police handle violet incidents. I'm being serious. I don't believe that they don't have physically aggressive young men, but the numbers support that they don't shot near as many. How many UK Policemen are beat to death, or stab to death (ect) each year. Does the public in the UK support their police at a higher rate because they don't carry guns? Conversely does the public distrust the police just because they have power they abuse?

mirage62 0 #650 September 19, 2014 Did a fast search, sure looks like the UK police are getting slaughtered. 71 were shot dead 24 were stab to death (These were the police officers trying to stop someone from breaking the law) Of course these numbers were from April 4th 1900 to Sept 22 2013. Maybe in America if we made owning a gun, carrying a gun a little harder (NOT taking away the right but making damn sure that only people that have passed a good back ground check?) and ENFORCING the laws on the book more of a priority we would all be better.
